Presidential directives to restructure embassies and diplomatic missions abroad.

President Ahmed Al-Shara instructed the Syrian Foreign Ministry to restructure embassies and diplomatic missions abroad. According to a tweet by Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shibani on the "x" platform, he stated, "Under the directives of President Ahmed Al-Shara, we have begun restructuring our embassies and diplomatic missions." Al-Shibani added in his tweet that "the restructuring will ensure a dignified representation of the Syrian Arab Republic and provide excellent services to Syrian citizens abroad." The Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates announced late on Monday, April 7, the recall of the country's ambassadors to the Russian Federation and Saudi Arabia, Bashar al-Jaafari and Ayman Sousan, to the central administration in Damascus. The decision, issued by Minister Asaad Al-Shibani, is part of a series of new diplomatic changes, with chargés d'affaires temporarily assuming the duties of the embassies until successors are appointed by the President.
